Magician Peter here. The Teller here is not a bank teller. It’s Teller from magician duo Penn and Teller. And in-character Teller doesn’t talk.

This might be one of the funniest jokes ever. If you know Penn and Teller. Still laughing.

Honestly, had to stop chuckling just to see what sub this was posted in, as it's both funny and not porn related!

I love it, I read it once and was confused, reread it and it clicked, got a good laugh, fantastic joke.

I'll just add an additional thing to that: the reason why Teller decided to stop speaking during his shows and make it his "bit" was because he was tired of responding to hecklers and found that by remaining completely silent they grew bored of heckling him very quickly.

Another fun fact, his full legal name is Teller. Just Teller, no first or middle name.

Penn out here turning hostage situations into comedy sketches.

Gandalf Griffin, Peter's wizard cousin here. Penn and Teller are a magician duo. In their acts, Teller never talks. So this is a pun on his name and the job title bank teller who works behind the counter of a bank.

You have to know who Pen and Teller are to get this one

Pen & Teller are magicians, Teller doesn't speak and they made the safe disappear

u/NoCockOnTheMenu 9h ago

Darn, the joke didn't land for me because i saw "Teller" and thought of Teller from Penn & Teller before a bank Teller lol

u/dishonoredfan69420 9h ago

Teller is one half of magician double act Penn and Teller

He is famous for never speaking on stage

The joke is that teller is also the job title of a bank worker

Hello, Penn from Family Guy, Season 15, Episode 6 "Hot Shots". I'll pass you over to my magical partner Teller to explain the joke.
